Lena was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Mr. H usually spending most of his time alone in that dilapidated cottage in the outskirts, except when he worked as a waiter at Wraith Manor? Why was he so well-informed?

"How did you know? Who told you?"

"I wanted to know and naturally I would know, I cared about everything happening around you."

His tone was very low, and there was a hint of paranoia in his speech.

Lena didn't bother to investigate further. "There was a little conflict with someone, but it had nothing to do with my boss. Besides, this was my former boss, and I no longer work at the Reid Group. He doesn't see me as someone important, so I definitely can't ask him for anything."

The bathroom light went out, and he walked out, covered in steam.

"How did you know that you were invisible to him?"

Lena found it funny and sighed, "The food was on the table, help yourself. There are people in the living room, I'll go and join them for a while."

She lifted her foot to leave, but her wrist

    When Lena returned to the bedroom, she took a shower first.When she came out, the things on the table had already been tidied up.She saw the figure bulging in the quilt, walked slowly over, lifted the quilt and lay down.His arms were very warm.Her hand slowly moved down and touched the red bean bracelet and ring on his wrist.He seemed to really like it, as he would wear it every time he came to see her.She felt relieved, and a smile curved up at the corner of her mouth. "The ring and bracelet I gave you, are you not planning to take them off?"He held her tightly, embracing her tightly."I won't take them off, unless something happens to me one day. Otherwise, I will keep wearing them."Lena frowned and suddenly raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't say such ominous words."He kissed her in the palm of her hand, and his mood improved as well."Well, I won't say."Lena has been very tired recently. She yawned and was about to fall asleep when she heard him ask, "There are ma

    Lena stood in the living room, watching as the man entered the master bedroom.She stayed at the door, wanting to hear something, but it was quiet inside.She sat on the sofa with some worries, waiting for ten minutes. The man in a white coat finally came out, and she hurriedly went up to him."How was Mr. H?"The man had a pair of phoenix eyes, which he slightly narrowed when looking at people, giving him a strong presence."It's okay, he often does this, taking medicine will help."Do you often do this?No wonder sometimes I did some things so obsessively.She looked at the man carrying a suitcase, inside of which there were many medicines, most likely all related to mental health."Will these medicines have any side effects? Like making him more and more restless."The man raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What has always made him uneasy is not any side effect, Ms. Dawson, haven't you noticed? You are his best medicine."Lena instantly fell silent. She was well aware that Mr. H had hi

    Lena arranged to meet Emma today, and prior to this, Emmett had threatened her, saying he would take him along.She reluctantly called him and to her surprise, Emmett was very proactive this time, arriving outside her residential area in less than half an hour.Lena's car was still under repair, so I had to knock on her car window."Mr. Wright, could you give me a ride along the way?"I don't know if it was her imagination, but Emmett seemed to have dressed up nicely today.Emmett sneered coldly, raised his chin, and motioned for her to come up.Lena sensibly didn't sit in the front passenger seat, but instead sat in the back.The car suddenly shot out, and her face almost hit the back of the front seat.Emmett let out a cold sneer again, "Don't get your foundation on my car."Lena was so frustrated that she had a headache. She really wished that Emmett would become completely infatuated with a woman in the future, going from being a proud CEO to a pitiful little dog. That would be ab

    "Do you know the Wright family from Westfell?"Emma's hand holding the steering wheel paused, this reaction indicated that she knew.Emmett's lips curved, and he said no more.To my surprise, she suddenly turned around and said, "Are you the Wright family?""Hmm."Her face suddenly darkened, furrowing her brows as she pondered something. Suddenly, she said, "Mr. Wright, don't contact me anymore in the future, and don't try to find me. Please get out of the car."She parked the car next to him, the intention was clear, telling him to get lost.Emmett was stunned for several seconds before slowly turning his head and asking, "Are you telling me to leave?"After knowing that he was a member of the Wright family, she didn't flatter him first, but instead rushed him.So many people in Westfell tried to flatter him, but he didn't even bother. Unexpectedly, when someone came to him willingly, he was actually rejected.Emma's face was serious, and even in front of him, she directly deleted al

    When Lena went downstairs, she didn't leave immediately. She really felt like she had seen these two people somewhere before, but couldn't remember at that moment.She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, just about to raise her hand to hail a taxi, when a sports car stopped in front of her.It was Lillian again.Lillian wore a large pair of sunglasses, probably passing by from here, and directly took off the sunglasses, with a proud expression in her eyes and eyebrows."Lena, how come I always run into you everywhere."Lena didn't say anything and took several steps to the side. She wanted to continue hailing a taxi, but Lillian deliberately drove the car a few meters backward, blocking her way.Lillian's lips curved, and she raised her hand to hook the sunglasses on her fingertips."Deaf? I'm asking you a question. Now you know that I have Hunter backing me up, so you dare not provoke me, right?"Lena frowned and took out her phone to take a glance, "Is it finished?"She had alr

    Her face was really proud, that kind of arrogance with someone backing her up felt like a sword stabbing into Lena's heart.Her spirit was already highly tense, and upon hearing the words, she directly threw the chair at Lillian.It all happened too quickly, and the police didn't have time to stop it.Lillian couldn't dodge in time, and a cut instantly appeared on her forehead. She touched the bleeding spot in disbelief, almost fainting right away."Lena, did you dare to hit me?"The police also quickly stopped Lena, "Ms. Dawson, if you continue like this, we will have to lock you up!"This is not the first time Lillian has been hurt by Lena. There is resentment in her eyes as she tightly purses her lips. "Fine, just you wait. I will personally send you to jail!"She immediately took out her phone and called Hunter.Hunter answered the call immediately and heard her sobbing."Hunter, I got injured. There was a lot of blood on my forehead."Hunter's face remained calm, but he still ask

    James couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but speak up, "Ms. Dawson, your car was indeed not..."Just yesterday, Lena was so angry that she didn't even watch the surveillance.Her car was indeed not driven by Lillian, but she felt that it was Hunter trying to protect Lillian.In addition to what happened today, she didn't have a good face for anyone.But he had only said half of it when Lena interrupted, "It wasn't Lillian who drew it, I know, is there anything else? I won't answer any more questions until my lawyer arrives."James felt extremely anxious in his heart.He lowered his head and looked at Hunter, but Hunter was just staring deeply at Lena.Lena always felt that there seemed to be something intense and complex in her gaze.She couldn't understand, so she simply avoided it.Hunter lowered his head and coughed for a few seconds, seeming to feel a headache, his complexion becoming even worse.James hurriedly pushed him to leave, and Lillian was also startled on the sid

    But no one could answer her questions.James has already boarded the car.Lillian stood in place, feeling her blood boiling throughout her body. She wished that Lena would die immediately.Her eye sockets were red, and as she turned around, she ran into Hayden who was about to leave.Her tears started to fall again, and she couldn't help but shout, "Brother, are you also going to see Lena?"Hayden's face was calm, and she raised her hand to rub her head."Lillian, go in."Lillian was so sad and she didn't feel like saying much, so she went inside directly.Hayden stood in place and remained standing for ten minutes, his legs becoming slightly numb from the long duration. It was only then, in this deserted night, that his phone rang, and a panicked voice came through on the other end."Mr. Reid, our brother has already died. The little money you gave is definitely not enough. You have to compensate for my brother's life."If Lena were here, she would definitely recognize this sound. It

    Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you! Lena, I hate you so much!"Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she reluctantly stepped back in fear of the dagger in Lena's hand.Lena squatted on the ground, looking into her eyes, "Did you really not contact Lillian?"Kianna's face changed, how could she not have contacted Lillian.Lena wanted to ask a few more questions, but she faintly saw a person standing below the small building, as if they had just come out.It was Mr. H.She quickly got up, and at the same time threw the dagger back into the car, and instructed Jovanni."You keep an eye on her, I'll go talk to Mr. H."Jovanni also noticed the man standing several meters away.

    Lena squinted her eyes and curved her lips, "So, Owen, did you know?"Since Jovanni was following her, he should have been familiar with her recent whereabouts.He indeed pursed his lips and said, "I know.""Was it him who arranged the person I had to deal with tonight?""No, it was Kianna."Lena lowered her eyelashes and said, "Kianna, that was easy to deal with."She took out her phone and sent Kianna a few strongly emotional text messages using the previous number. Kianna indeed agreed to meet up.Lena couldn't help but laugh. With a mind like that, if it weren't for her last name being Wright, she would have probably been eaten up and left with nothing but crumbs.She was about to drive away when Jovanni instantly caught up, "Why are you going alone?""I went to meet Kianna to see why she had this inexplicable hatred towards me, and I wanted to find out if Lillian had anything to do with it."Jovanni opened th

    Jovanni opened the car door and sat inside. Because the weather was too cold, the breath he exhaled was all white. He lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.Lena sat in the driver's seat, but she didn't start the car right away.She had felt several times recently that someone was following her, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.She leaned back and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning in the car. "Where is your brother Gael? Why did you come out alone?"And in the middle of the night, he even followed her. What on earth was going on?Jovanni looked out of the window, and in his mind, he recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day.The man, of course, didn't actually kill him and Gael, but Gael was detained.Gael has always been the calmest one, while Jovanni is different, he had a more volatile temper and has always been very outspoken.Although they were not blood brothers, he

    Lena had been staying in the hospital until evening. She hadn't been sleeping well recently and couldn't resist lying down by the bed and fell asleep like that.Three hours later, she was awakened by the doctor."Ms. Dawson, you go back and rest first. Don't wait until your brother wakes up and you collapse."Lena's eyelids had dark circles, and she rubbed her eyes upon hearing the words."Did his high fever not go down?"The doctor sighed and said, "Considering his own fate, perhaps there are some things he himself cannot understand, which is why he is like this. As family members, you can talk to him more."But she had no idea what Randy's knot was.She got up and, after returning home, was extremely tired and fell asleep right away.But in the middle of the night, she always felt like she heard a sound outside the window.She got up, turned on the nearby light, and saw a strange man leaning on her house window, holdin

    When Lena woke up, it was midnight and she felt like there was a furnace beside her.She quickly got up and reached out to Randy's forehead to check, and he was running a fever!"Randy!"She shouted, but he didn't respond. He had already burnt it to a crisp.Lena quickly dialed the local emergency hotline.But she had to arrive at daybreak, so she continued to add firewood to the bonfire and moved Randy closer.But even in this state, he resisted.He was curled up in a daze, and woke up once in the middle, seeing her probing his forehead, unable to help but ask, "Who are you, after all?"If he hadn't been sick, Lena would have slapped him.She forced herself to calm down and then tore off a piece of fabric to wrap some ice and snow from outside, placing it on his forehead to cool him down.Randy's face was completely red, and his hands were reaching out haphazardly to the side, as if he was trying to touch somethi

    As she approached, she fiercely slapped him.Randy's clothes were still hanging nearby, and there were many bruises on his body, indicating that the car accident had injured him, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.His face was intact, but now it swelled up instantly after being slapped, indicating that Lena showed no mercy in her attack.Lena was so angry that she grabbed his thin clothes and pulled him closer."You came all the way to this place to find you, who are you giving a bad attitude to? Speak up! What's the matter after all?"Randy turned his head away and silently stared at a certain spot on the cave wall, tears streaming down "drip, drip".Lena knew her little brother Randy well. If Randy had been wronged, he would have wanted to grab a megaphone and shout in front of her, demanding that she focus more of her energy on him. For example, if he had been humiliated by Mr. H, he would not hesitate to ask her to break up

    Lena was not going to let him have his way at this critical moment. She pushed him away and straightened her clothes."I left first."He did not try to stop her either, sitting in place and nodding very obediently.Lena's preferences for men were sometimes strange. She didn't believe that men necessarily had to be strong and powerful, like Mr. H. It was also not a bad thing for him to need her protection.She left and drove away, with her destination set to her hometown on the navigation.It took a long time to drive, and in the meantime, she ate two cookies to satisfy her hunger before arriving.She went to Dashawn's house first, and he was in the yard digging herbs. When he saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then he realized."Are you Lena?"Lena was a bit unclear about this location. If she hadn't asked along the way, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.She nodded politely and s

    She quickly turned around and walked towards the house.To my surprise, Mr. H had been standing obediently at the entrance, without moving at all. It seemed that he was unaware of the death outside.She took a deep breath and held his face in her hands, comforting him, "Something happened outside, don't go out for now. Is your doctor friend, the one from Wraith Manor?"Mr. H's eyelashes trembled, and his cheek unconsciously rubbed against her palm, showing some attachment. "Hmm.""You called him over, I needed him to help me with something."Since it was Wraith Manor, they should have been proficient in dealing with dead people.Mr. H immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come over."Lena, why do I feel a smell of blood?"Lena pulled him and sat on the sofa in the hall in the dark. "I accidentally scratched my arm just now, but it's okay."Mr. H remained silent, slowly caressing her fingertips, his t

    She stepped on the accelerator, never having driven at such a high speed before.After rushing to the small western-style building outside Mr. H's, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards the inside.The people in those cars probably didn't expect her to stop here, but they also stopped, their faces filled with excitement. This was all Lena's doing. Tonight, she was going to be killed in this place, fulfilling her employer's mission.Lena arrived at the door and entered directly using the password.As soon as she stood still, she was embraced by someone."Mr. H?""Hmm."She raised her hand and patted his back, "Do you have any handy weapons here?""Yes, I had obtained two guns from Wraith Manor earlier, but it was too dangerous, so I never used them."Wraith Manor, a place located in a lawless area, was common to have access to guns.What Lena needs the most right now is this."Okay, you gave me the
